Dizzy cover was used on 94-95 5.0 Mustangs.
I felt it was a cleaner look than the 86-93 rubber boot.  :thu

Thanks, I've seen the rubber boots but not that one. Works very well in your engine bay.

Basically, when I first started welding the shock towers I really had little to no clue what I was doing.

The welds looked HORRIBLE and had zero penetration. I have cut and ground down most of the welds and did the job PROPERLY this time around and the new welds look nice.

The only welds I have not yet cut and re-welded are the following one highlighted in the photograph for both the L and RS and was wondering how visible they were.



Horseplay had a great point in regards to why leave anything not at the same level as the rest of the car, which I totally agree with, so I have just been admiring everyone's engine compartments.

For a little encouragement, here's what mine started as:













And here's a "concours" Cleveland-powered Cougar I did in the early 90's...
THAT engine compartment was even busier than the Saleen...
